Top Chopped Cook: A Date Night Idea

Top Chopped Cook: A Date Night Idea

Each month we do a date night with 2 other couples. We take turns going to each couple’s home for dinner, games, etc. Our goal was to get out and do something with friends on date night. It’s been a lot of fun!  This month it was Kelly & Kaisa’s turn to host and they chose to make dinner a game in itself.  They sent out a note to each of us with our assignments. Greetings Home Cooks: You are…

Digi Art –Keep Calm

Digi Art –Keep Calm

I’ve been playing around with digi art today and trying to get some goodies packaged up for my Creative University class this month.  It’s in less than 2 weeks and I’m trying to tie up loose ends.  Most of my roomie gift stuff is done and I think I finished my secret sister gifties.  I’ve got to finish my charms and part of that process was finishing up my little “charm cards” to go with them in their little baggies. …

Paninis – PuertoCuban style! (or Almosta Cubans)… An International Culinary Adventure… or something…

So I may be buried under piles of paper and jewelry supplies but occasionally I pull myself out of the mess and make dinner for the Brent-man and myself. My friend, Jamie, has been sharing recipes and pictures of her new “skinny” meals and one of them caught my eye and whet my appetite 🙂  It’s called “Cuban Sandwich Quesadilla” and is made with Pernil, a slow cooked pork, pickles, ham, swiss cheese and mustard.   Now, I’m not a fan…

Gearing Up For Creative University

Gearing Up For Creative University

Gosh I’ve been busy behind the scenes here lately getting ready for Creative University and a visit from my aunt and cousin from Massachusetts who are going to be here when I return from C.U. and stay with us as they travel cross country to LA.  Crazy stuff!  We DID finally get Christmas down and put away and even de-junked the Christmas/Seasonal Decor closet (aka under the stairs). Yahoo! I’ve also been working on 60 charms (20 art charms, 20…

This is the current state of my desk… {Pardon the picture quality..

LOL! Today is National Clean Off Your Desk Day… I read it somewhere online so it…

Chinese Crystal Jewelry Set

Chinese Crystal Jewelry Set

I know it’s been a while since I promised to show you the necklace I made at my jewelry class earlier this month.  This month sure has gotten away from me as I am sure it has for most of us.  Today we got the last of our Christmas gifts wrapped and under the tree and tackled some household chores before Christmas arrives including Mt Grotegut, the ever growing mountain of laundry.  We’ve been somewhat “lax” on it this past…
